David Steiman is a Kubernetes Platform Engineer and seasoned software architect with 13+ years building cloud-native systems, microservices and developer tooling from Berlin. A long-time JHipster core contributor, he blends hands-on full-stack development (Angular, Spring Boot/Cloud) with platform operations—designing CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes bare-metal and hybrid clusters, and infrastructure as code. He’s CKA-certified and has led security and OAuth2 integrations in the JHipster ecosystem, giving him deep insight into service-to-service auth and production microservice management. Passionate about sharing knowledge, he blogs and contributes to open source to help other engineers bridge the gap between architecture and reliable operations.
